Another release of Karuizawa as part of the Noh Series. Noh masks are one of the most important bit of the costumes in the Japanese drama theater act that is Noh, the masks themselves were hand carved from wood and have a consistency of bulging eyes and large mouths.
These masks represent different faces, such as ghosts, demons, goblins, old men, females and males. Most masks have been carved so the actor can change his characters facial expression by just tilt his head so the audience gain a different angle of his mask.
This label features the mask Warai-jo, the laughing old man.
